Hoodoos, the cafe bit in Matthews Yard do put on a lot of live music and there are regular theatre and comedy events too. Not been to one yet though when's your gig ATOMIC SUPLEX ?

Spreadeagle also has comedy and theatre gigs

The Oval put on live music every weekend I think

Scream Lounge also have live music

But out of all of them Matthews Yard does seem to be the most versatile?

I've seen one only one propper out of town (propper band and not from Croydon) at the oval.

I am aware of scream lounge and hoodoos, but they don't seem to get anyone on the London circuit let alone other regions. I might be wrong here though, I am only really interested in the punk garage scene so might not have paid propper attention.

I have been looking at what's on at Stanley Halls and there have been a couple of things I've fancied but I guess they don't have any kind of late licence? There's a northern soul night thing but it's only 8 til 11.30 which just sounds/feels very short?

visited box park for first time today. Liked it, have to say. Food we had was very cheap, four pound for pretty much half a pizza. didn't feel like some hipster ghetto, with all walks of life present, from OAPs to people with babies. Good to see so many teenagers about, obviously a place a new place for them to kill a few hours. None of the businesses had a corporate feel, looked like small Indy's to me. Heaters everywhere so not brutalised by cold. All in all I thought a good addition to the town and would def come back. Only negative was seeing a few restaurants in the surrounding area totally empty, not sure If that's a result of BP tho.

Yep, all the businesses in boxpark are pretty much from outside the area and are killing all the the established local eateries.
Personally Boxpark is not my thing at all. Overpriced and not at all what I want from an eating experience. Street food yes, but prices higher than most local restaurants and actually sitting outside on shitty wooden tables? No thanks.

If it really was street food at street food prices, and there was something more to see than just food shop after food shop, and if they didn't insist on playing loud shitty music maybe I would go back.

Police were called to a block of flats in Eastney Road at around 11.25 p.m.

Mr Moore, a father-of-three from Croydon, was pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem gave cause of death as gunshot injuries to the head.

Detective Chief Inspector Lee Watling of the Homicide and Major Crime Command appealed for witnesses and information.

He said: "I need to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious in the Eastney Road area late on Friday night.

"I would urge any witnesses, or anyone with information that may assist the investigation, to call police and tell us what they know."

The incident room at Sutton can be contacted on 020 8721 4205. To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Do you actually post anything apart from details of murders and the subsequent trials?

had a banging Chicken Curry Roti from the place at the top of St Georges Walk the other day at lunchtime.

also went to Boxpark again weekend before last, this time with the kids. Was a Sunday afternoon and we had been to Ikea and my 3yo was desperate for a tram ride, and we were desperate for lunch so we left the car and went to Boxpark. Food we had was decent, my 15 month old loved dancing to the live music and my son ate his weight in hummus.

was a bit parkie but not too bad considering it was pretty cold generally.
